Fantastic idea and very good execution. It was of huge help when I realized that the parts of the image that I already activated don't need to stay connected.

I really like this. I wish I could rotate things counter-clockwise though.

Both visuals and mechanics are very tightly connected to the theme of minimalism, excellent.

Very simple, intuitive but interesting gameplay! Everything feels polished, and I only miss some ambient music, which I really think would give the last touch to the game.

I always love it when games try to step outside their usual territory. You did just that by presenting minimalist paintings as game mechanics. Great job.

Nice puzzle game! Some explanation at the start of the game would be nice. Sometimes it is a bit hard to see if a tile is activated or another color, but the resulting 'abstractions' are very nice. :)

Very slick presentation, WebGL well used.
Great "Minimal" Puzzle Idea, glad that there is no time limit. Wish it didn't restart at Level 1 though :-)

This doesn't seem to work for me on the latest firefox, but the gif animation seemed really interesting.

It works on my OSX Firefox 20.0, fwiw. Can be glitchy in FF and is definitely slower.

Cool puzzle game idea. The goal wasn't super clear, but I think I got how to play after a little bit. Some audio would add a lot to this game.

Stellar visuals and polished play. It definitely captured minimalism well.

That's great entry, simple, nice, fast to get, fast to play and a nice puzzle. And it's minimal indeed. Good job!

Beautiful game. I saw the gif you posted of it on a post and have been looking for this game. It definitely didn't disappoint!

Very beautiful game. Fiddled around for about 20 minutes just watching the tiles move... nice one

The animation looked slick. Wasn't totally sure how to begin or what to do. Would have appreciated a bit more direction.

Lovely tile-effect!
